Lord Rooker: In-transit mortality rates are available only for Heathrow airport, which is one of the main import points for birds.
	
		
			 Year Mortality rate 
			 2004 0.7% 
			 2005 (Jan-Oct)* 1.0% 
			 A temporary ban on wild bird imports was put in place in October 2005. 
		
	
	The most recent statistics available for mortality in quarantine are from 2003, when there was a mortality rate of 7 per cent. Further information is available in the Report of the Independent Review of Avian Quarantine, which can be found on the Defra website at: www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/control/avianquarantine/index.htm.
	In the Government's response to the report, we accepted that data collection should be improved. They stated:
	"Although data gathering is already carried out, the data has been held in regional offices of the State Veterinary Service (SVS) and is difficult to access. Therefore, the SVS will keep a central record of data for each quarantine episode which is readily accessible and updated within three working days of completion of quarantine".

Baroness Scotland of Asthal: The information requested is set out in the following table.

Lord Harrison: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	What assessment they have made to the May-June Health and Safety Executive height awareness campaign, in light of the fact that most injuries occur when people fall from lower than head height.

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: Preliminary findings indicate that the campaign was successful in raising awareness about the dangers of falling when working at low height, which was the key message of the campaign. A full and independent evaluation of the HOUSE's "Height Aware" campaign is due to report at the end of December 2006, and to be published in the new year.
